License images through us and help to save the lives of pets.
Our rescue group photo program provides complimentary images of homeless pets to shelters for their adoption ads. These images are then added to our stock photography library to raise funds to keep this program running.
Susan's professional pictures help to show our pets to potential adopters in the best way possible, which in turns leads to faster adoptions. We hear time and time again how much the personality shows through in the pictures. If a person doesn't connect with a pet via a picture, they are less likely to inquire about the pet.

Philanthropic adventures for creative spirits.
Local and international adventures with professional photographer Susan Schmitz and animal artist April Howland
We not only provide exciting opportunities for exploration of nature and wildlife, we also coordinate opportunities to educate guests on important conservation and humanitarian efforts in progress in the areas that they visit. We aim to inspire guests to aide in these efforts by sharing their experiences through their art to raise awareness. We will teach them effective ways to generate sales of their creations and the importance of giving back a portion of proceeds to the charitable organizations that run the projects that they just visited.
Our adventures are hosted by expert photographers, artists, local guides and NGO project leaders.
Our mission is to provide creative spirits with a unique art and philanthropic centered travel experience that inspires global impact through creativity, connection and conservation.
Masai Mara, Kenya - Africa
SEPTEMBER 19-26, 2020
WITNESS THE GREATEST WILDLIFE SHOW ON EARTH
Witnessing the annual wildebeest and zebra Great Migration at the point where they cross the Mara River in Kenya, Africa is at the top of most wildlife enthusiast’s bucket list. Words cannot describe how magical this experience is. Imagine thousands of wildebeest and hundreds of accompanying zebra gathering along the banks of the river, pacing back and forth until the first brave soul decides to make the initial leap into the crocodile infested waters. As soon as the leader takes off, the rest of the herds follow in a chaotic and dramatic fashion. With plumes of dust clouding the atmosphere and the sounds of hoofs stomping all around, it is a complete rush for your senses and adrenaline!
This safari package exclusively available through Adventure Artists International will provide you with a behind the scenes look at projects that Africa Foundation has in the works. It will also provide opportunities for you to use the art that you produce on this trip to directly help with these initiatives.
